Altz UI for Legion

If you have any errors or questions,please post it in the comments.
Please support your errors with a screenshot.

Intro

Altz UI is a minimalistic compilation with in-game configuration supported. I wanted to make a UI which gives people the feeling of hiding almost all UI elements, just like after pressing Alt+Z, and that is the origin of the name. It was fisrt released at November 11, 2011. The theme of AltzUI is simplicity. It only shows necessary elements when you want to see them. Also its memory useage and CPU footprint is very low, with only 2 ~ 3mb it is able to complete most of the functionality you need. Please read the all the tips in the tutorial appearing later, it gets you started in no time. If you have any errors or questions, please post it in the comments of the addon's page in wowinterface.com. Please help by spreading the word about this UI by recommending it to your guild members and friends. Thank you.

5.50ver5.50 is a very important update. I almost rewrite the whole addon, so please follow steps below when update.
1 Backup and clean your Interface folder.

2 Search and delete AltzUIConfig.lua and AltzUIConfig.lua.bak in WTF. You may also delete any files which name include oUF, because the unit frame mod is built in AltzUI now that you won't need them any more.

3 Unpack the package you downloaded. I replace the font of the addon with a Chinese font, which is 13.4 MB(containing Chinese and English words), so the addon seems much bigger than before, but that won't affect the memory usage so don't worry. If the text in game are display correctly, you don't need change it, otherwise you should replace the font.ttf in Interface\AddOns\Aurora\media.

4 Lo-gin the game. The new tutorial will gets you start easily. After you complete that, put other addons into the addon folder.

ive been using ElvUI for quite some time but alot of people swear by AltzUI so i decided to look it up. i decided to download it because what i read on the front page appealed to me, its supposed to be minimalistic, got a nice feel to it and seems to show alot of important things you need while raiding and/or pvping while still keeping it clean(at least thats how i felt about it). so in order for me to get started on installation i had to turn off quite a few addons because this UI replaced all those. addons i turned off were:

- much longer loading screens (even though i use an SSD to shorten this)
- huge drop in FPS (which would seem weird seeing as this is supposed to be minimalistic and not use that many MBs)
- a pretty good amount of LUA errors (with ElvUI i got 1 a day, now i get at least 10)
- cant copy any settings to any of my alts (no pun intended) tried the export button but when pressing the import button on any of my alts it says nothing to import. i cant CTRL+C because then it will just open my character window.

all my addons are up to date, i use a GTX 1060 TI which is also up to date, ive installed WoW on a 500g SSD. so i am kind of out of options of where to look, so im hoping someone here or the author him/herself could help me out on this.

I found a new lua error that fires when hovering over the artifact power bar when a reputation is checked. If we uncheck the reputation that we follow and then check it or not, we can consult the bar of the artifact power correctly without any error message appearing until the next reloading of the interface.

The message gives the name of the function that is in error in the file "MainMenuBar.lua" but no trace of this function. Hoping that the error will be corrected soon or by the release of "Battle for Azeroth" !

My MainActionBar hide to combat with ChatBoxFrame since today. See screenshot !

But I think I have found the solution to my problem. The length of the ChatBoxFrame was too long and it exceeded on the main interface. So when the fight started, the ChatBoxFrame is hidden but part of the interface was also hidden except the first bar. By reducing the length of the chatbox, the problem has disappeared.

I tried out this UI and I like it very much. I figured everything out rly quickly, but there is just one thing I canīt find. Maybe someone can help me:

How can I move the Pop-uP Window/Frame that pops up if I get Loot, an Achievement? Itīs at the bottom of the screen and I want to move it.

Somebody has an Idea?

Iīm looking forward to your Feedback.

Tastycake

Hi Tastycake, I don't see any options for disable this icon ! But I use another addon for the Loot and Achievement Frame, it's Is_toast or ls_toast, i don't know if the first letter is an i uppercase or a L lowercase.

Is there a way to make the unit frames only show debuffs that are dispellable? Sometimes debuffs that really aren't relevant seem to override [and hide] debuffs that need to be dispelled. I did find a place where the UI manually has each debuff listed and can appear, but doing that on every boss in every dungeon and raid is going to be a tad annoying. However, everything else I've loved for the most part, barring loot and achievements popping up over the healer unit frames.

You sure you pasted the contens correctly? I believe one named 'Buttons' goes into the Interface and the rest into Addons. Also, have you double checked if the addon is enabled inside of WoW? Simple advice but just making sure. Can't think of anything else :P
